However, for a job-oriented/subject-related practical training, you must apply for approval/recognition in advance using this form.
- Information on the extent of a compulsory pracitcal training can be found in your curriculum.
- One week of full employment corresponds to 1.5 ECTS credits.
- Within the scope of your free elective courses, a maximum of 12 ECTS credit points can be recognised for any internship or practical training. If your degree programme includes less than 12 ECTS credit points of free elective courses, the maximum recognisable credit points are fewer.
